OLD LADY’S PAINTINGS
Several water colour landscapes and a still-life in oil, shown in the Auckland Society of Arts annual exhibition, represent a remarkable achievement by an Auckland lady of 85. Miss Minnie Walker. Until a few years ago Miss Walker had done only a little painting in water colour, and before reaching the age of 80 had never handled oil p'aint. Nevertheless, a series of sketches executed recently on the West Coast 'shows, a vigour- and Fewness that most younger artists might envy. One study of seas breaking on a rocky coast under a grey sky has received the highest commendation from authorities in Auckland, who regard it as an almost masterly statement of the subject.
